See you in Copenhagen!

From 6 to 6 November 2014, professional antiquarian booksellers from Denmark, Sweden, Finland, England, Austria, France, and Hungary will gather in Copenhagen for one of the biggest antiquarian book fairs ever held in Scandinavia.

The Danish Antiquarian Booksellers Association, ABF, is excited to be hosting the annual fair, which alternates between Oslo, Stockholm, and Copenhagen.

Apart from the many books on all subjects and in all price-ranges which will be offered for sale by the antiquarian booksellers, private book collectors will present treasures from their libraries in a number of exhibtions, featuring for example:

Kierkegaard and Camus

Hermann Bang

Southern Jutland 1864

Johannes Larsen

Saxo 2014

Furthermore, Danish book binders will show their skills in modern book-art in daily workshops, among them:

Klara Kolqvist

Co’Libri

Hanne Jensen.

On both days professional book dealers will be evaluating books brought to the fair by collectors.

Scandinavian Antiquarian Book Fair

6-8 November, 2014

Round Tower, Copenhagen (Denmark)

The Round Tower is an extraordinary location in the centre of Copenhagen and the perfect setting for an antiquarian book fair. It was built by Christian IV between 1637 and 1642 as part of the Trinitatis complex uniting church, library, and observatory in one single building. The old library room, where the antiquarian booksellers will exhibit their treasures, was the first university library in Denmark.

Open Thursday – Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm.

The Scandinavian Antiquarian Book Fair is officially supported by the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB). The Danish Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association and ILAB welcome you to a weekend of celebrating the book!

Itamarati Grafica e Editora, (Ipirangia, Sao Paulo, Brazil 1991 - First edition. Small oblong quarto. Very brief text in Portuguese. Twenty-four photographic images. Fine in just about fine dustwrapper with a small smudge on the rear panel. An exceptionally rare book of nude photography of adolescent Brazilian girls, published to accompany an exhibition of photographs in Sao Paulo. The devoutly Roman Catholic Brazilian government authorities seized and then destroyed 236 copies of the 500 copy run of this title just a week after its publication. Police raided Cabral's studio, gallery, and printer, and confiscated his negatives and existing prints of the photographs. After two years and legal vindication, Cabral received his negatives back, although in varying degrees of damage.The American edition, titled *Anjos Proibidos: Forbidden Angels*, and published by Ophelia Editions in 2000, with 27 additional photographs was again suppressed when one of the models, now grown to adulthood, sued for invasion of privacy. Despite the publisher's eventual victory in the lawsuit, the book was still effectively suppressed, and when it now appears on the secondary market, it invariably commands four figures.[WITH] publisher's maquette and proofs for the American edition, as follows: 1. a full set of printer's "blue" proofs for the photos, text, and dustwrapper on blue proofing paper; 2. a full set of same on glossy paper; and 3. a full set of the folded and gathered sheets on glossy paper, laid into a proof of the dustwrapper.A rare book, with unique accompanying material. Provenance on request. *OCLC* locates two copies of the American edition, and no copies of the Brazilian edition. Less
